These superhotfire shirts are only available until Dec 31 and then THEY ARE GONE FOREVER! teespring.com/stores/thestraightpipes

The amount of power these 4cyls are pushing out is insane

I like that yuri has the same facial expression now as he did back in the 35 when toggling the pumped in audio😂

did I just hear synthwave from the intro? 💜

After three years of asking these things, in 2020 you finally reviewed a Ferrari and put Nm figures for the torque😍

The way that intro was edited and the soundtrack was coordinated with the exhaust and engine sounds was particularly satisfying

The front looks like The GT Coupe 4 door. ... Which could either be good or bad depending which one of them you have.

One of the best introduction till date in your channel in terms of aesthetics..

Man! you guys really have fun doing this together ! Great job guys! I really enjoy watching your videos

One of my favorite cars! It's insane the power those motors can make.

God bless you guys for showing NMs of torque!

Been waiting for this one, thanks! 🙌🏽

basically this 4-cylinder makes the same amount of power as the V8s in the CL550, S550 etc. from 10-15 years ago lol

That editing in the intro was amazing

Tbh you guys have the best into for any car in the youtube world !!!!! i can really watch all your intros and enjoy all day

Something to note here. I've had quite a bit of time in the 45, RS3 and M2. The RS3 can technically be as fast as these cars but it needs 93/94+ octane (in US, this is NOT RON equivalent). 99% of pumps in California are 91 octane. If you put 91 octane in the RS3, it's actually pretty slow. That being said, if 91 octane is all you have, the 45 or M2 will be way faster than the RS3. I dislike how manufacturers are inconsistent with the octane that they use. It's not wrong to say that the RS3 is as fast or faster, but it's also required to use higher octane than its competition as well.

i love that Mercedes specifically chooses HP output numbers that reference past cars. The old V8 used to put down 382!

I remember when these used to be the "cheap Merc", now they are $70k 💀

Love the review guys just recently leased one and in the same color which is nice seeing it in video. Helped me understand more of what I’m driving. Thanks guys and great video

Guys i love your content . You help people choose their car GOD BLESS YOU MAN........

I'm 5'11, my dreams of becoming a straight pipe are still in reach!!

I love mine. I got it last June. It’s insane. It’s an STI killer by far. Hats off to Mercedes on the refresh. 👍

i waited so much for this review great job guys

Such great production quality, espcially in the intro. Nice!

I bet it was throttle house that messed up the USB port 😂😂 I’m playing love both of you

Love how they both got t-shirts on in the middle of December in Ontario

Been waiting for this for so long AND THET DID IT AGAIN IN THE BEGINNING

I just watched the first 20 seconds, and I LOVE the new cliché corner shot!

One of the best intros I’ve seen in any video ever

The way it RIPS through first and second so quick is absolutely BERZERK!!!!!

I have got a CLA Shooting Brake 45s and it’s insane. I love my car.

Yuri's driving skills have gotten so much better over the years!

6:21 Yuri’s hair becomes super saiyan as he enters the drivers seat.

Its 5 am and I've never clicked so fast on a video

I was waiting for the box and visor test... and the video was over 😂 Those quirky reviews got me haha

Myself growing up in bush in B.C. instantly understanding what a dart is lol, don’t smoke but these guys are homies

This thing has amazing power for its engine size and it actually sounds good. Price isn’t bad either I might actually get this 😅

I see thestraightpipes review amg I click

I've been digging the new HP and Torque animations.

Damn edition quality in this video is nuts. Keep it up guys 🙌🏻

I’d love to see you guys review the Shelby GT350. And I’d love to see you also drive a 2007-2009 Shelby GT500.

One of the Top three best looking merc of the new generation

this is honestly the best modern-day review i've ever seen

Great video, wow that little thing is such a cool car!!

This is a lot quicker than I thought it would be

I saw one of these in red it was amazing

May just have to buy this car because of how awesome a review you guys made for it 🤔😦🤯

Sounds great! That noise would help keep you alert on a long drive better than gas station coffee ever could.

Intros are getting better boys

Anyone: hey this is a pretty cool ca- Jakub: did I mention that now I have an iPhone????

Need that shooting brake in NA! Looks the same going in reverse but that's amazing. We're way too obsessed with crossovers here. Thanks, Germany, for sending the C63 AMG and RS6 Avant o7

Amazing car!! I have a CLA and I love it! Mercedes interiors are just wow!

Jakub is like anti-Doug underestimating his height

I chose CLA45 this over the other two: RS3: Fastest straight line acceleration, nice gauge screen, super awkwardly small info screen, outdated exterior. M2: Most fun car since it comes with manual and RWD, but I live in Winnipeg so it’s not really ideal/fun, it’s also less practical since rear seats are not very usable, I do think this is the best looking car, if I live in no-snow area I will go with it. Cla45: better overall car. Most important reason: my wife said “absolutely no” to the other two and “yes” to CLA45 :D

Weekend videos are the best!

The reason these cars are so quiet from the outside is due to new emission regulations. The CLA45 does pump exhaust noise through the audio however it's not fake noise, it takes actual noise from the exhaust and amplifies that through the stereo which is why it sounds better than the CLA35 which is artificial noise.

these sick beats at the beginning of every video, can't get enough of them

OMG THANK YOU FOR PUTTING NM FOR TORQUE

3:05 nope, it theoretically can send 100% torque to the rear but it still means that front and rear axis are locked. So front wheels still also get 100% torque if they have grip

The GLA45 Is one of my favorite vehicles. Found a 2015 for 22k. I like the newer dash and grill

Well it is standard on the S version. It sounds quite nice in my A45s, although it is sometimes indeed a bit to much. Many obviously talk shit about it, but with the OPF etc. which is due to the EU emission rules, there is only so much you can do for real noise out of a 2 liter. They didn’t bother making noise when standing still, like other brands do, like with the new golf R etc. Cause when you floor those, it also turns into a blowing sound and is nothing like the older models. So same goes with the new 45 compared to the old one. However there are aftermarket exhausts or custom things you can do. Take off the resonator and the pops are more crisp rather than muffled. But if you also bypass the rear muffler, it definitely gets quite a bit louder. Removing the OPF would be better, but in some cases it can give software errors and if you don’t want to lose your warranty straight away, by having to alter the software, it’s not the best thing to do. My resonator has been removed and I’m going to get a cutoff valve in front of the rear muffler. That way the car sounds louder when the extra valve is open, but when I close it, go back to the sound with the rear muffler. Although many people tell me to just remove the rear muffler all together, I wanna do this mainly because I don’t want to wake up other people and because they are starting to measure sound at some places to give you a fine, when your car is to loud... They even think about taking away your car for a while... So when I go to certain areas or when I see cops, I can close that valve xD For the rest I really love my car, except for a few details that are really a big fail. Android auto/apple carplay is a smaller size than the actual screen and can only be used with a wired connection. Which gives you the annoying problem that you can’t place your phone where it is supposed to, due to the cable sticking out in the back... Wireless charging is useless when you want to use apple carplay or android auto, since you have to use the cable anyway. And you can only use the usb port in the front to access those, cause the other usb ports won’t work for that, only for charging... Big design flaw imo

So weird after all these years where Canadians ONLY got the “S” version of AMGs, it’s not being offered to us on the GLA or CLA

Can't believe how many videos you guys are pumping out in December. Nuts.

I just got this exact car ( no HUD though) but other options, MSRP was 77 and they discounted 11k. You guys are funny, your review of the TRD Pro 4Runner made me buy it, I had already bought my RS3 and Supra before you did your reviews and I was wondering if you were going to do the CLA45...you did, even in Denim Blue! Awesome!

Pumped in audio.... Stoopid.

No one gonna talk about jakub straight up pouring water in a USB port

This is the car I’m buying next year!! My current dream car

Nice, been waiting for this one! :)

I love my c63 AMG! Been super reliable and so far in the last few years hasn’t really cost me much beyond basic maintenance and gas (lots and lots of premium) plus my insurance isn’t much at all since I’m older now. But it’s not a car I will keep much longer. I made the mistake of putting 100 K plus miles on a Benz. Shit BLEW UP and I still owed 6 K on it. I upgrade every 75 K miles.

If that wasn't pumped in sound I would be impressed

"I'm Jakub, I'm Yuri and we're going for a drive" simply makes my day every time 🌞

In 5/6 months I'll have mine, coming back for reference!

Unfortunately I think vb77 Botta needs racestart[tm].

Great that Mercedes has finally released a rival to the class leader, the Fiat Croma.

Man these intros are fire!!🔥🔥

Finally you guys review this car. Have mine on order

I like how the intro song fits well with the car 😃 can you share the link to the song please?

Actually looks nice imo

The best review car channel!!!!!!!

Had a 2014 CLA 45, fun car, dual clutch at that time was ok, not great. This ones seems like a big improvement

Shoutout to Sercan Adıyaman for the engine built

Still would take the RS3 for the Inline 5 Cylinder. Not to mention that 5 can be tuned and is damn reliable. This Mercedes engine has yet to be proven but with high psi, I don’t expect this to last after the warranty expires

For a 4 banger it’s really good and I love that blue on it the price is not bad until you option it out it’s a little much I think pumped in audio is not needed I wish car makers would not do that lol great job on the review as always guys hope all is well

That GORGEOUS rear slide through cliché

Yeeeessss finally!!

Completely ditched a Throttle House video for this one

This era of powerful 2L 4cyl power units is absolutely epic

I had to pause the video just to say that intro was so dope

Funny enough, I like that this car is a 4-cylinder instead of something bigger. Smaller engines are usually easier to maintain

Whole industry is heading towards computer programming i feel it dude , i am studing same stuffbut howndo you know about it

I agree with you both, I wish mercedes brought their shootingbreaks here to the US. I like them more than sedans for sure. Imagine the new M5 with a hatch. Or an S63 shooting break??

That shooting break looks great!

Wehee Notification gang where you at ?

SERCAN ADYAMAN (MOTOR MÜHENDİSİ))

Yeah, astonishing Mercedes CLA 45!

@TheStraightPipes do a tier list on your fav cars you have reviewed so far from a single brand

They pump some sound in the audio so you dont hear the dash crack

I love these but I’d still take an Audi RS3 over it anyday of the week👌🏽

I would love to have the shooting brake here too!! Also, I wish we were getting the upcoming Arteon shooting brake. NA needs more wagon options. So what the majority doesn't care for them. There's enough people that do to at least make it an option for us.

Having been born in Germany .. I can appreciate how you filmed this video in Germany during Summer .
